The SELP Curriculum
The SELP curriculum allows students to work at a pace, more in keeping with their academic capacities. Students are extended to work at higher thought process levels, and higher academic performance levels. In this way their intellectual development is stimulated whilst their social and emotional development is supported by a peer group of similarly motivated and achieving students.
All students stay together in one class for all of their subjects in Years 7 & 8.
In Years 9 & 10 they are able to select several elective subjects, which they undertake with other students from their year level. Students must meet the set academic requirements at each year level.
All students who enter the Program exhibit above average ability in Mathematics. The extent to which they excel in Mathematics will influence the curriculum pathway which each student follows.
In addition, all SELP students:
Undertake compulsory music studies in Years 7 & 8, with the option of an extension music curriculum.
Are able to take up instrumental studies and perform with one of the school bands or orchestras.
Undertake a Language Other Than English to Year 9.
Undertake VCE studies whilst in Year 10.
Undertake Year 12 subjects whilst in Year 11.
Have the option of a University subject in Year 12.
Participate in a range of enrichment activities including debating, public speaking and university tours.
